Salt Chair

Pros
The slim bentwood seat lends an impression of solidity without adding actual heft: The chair weighs fewer than eight pounds. The narrow profile and small footprint makes it ideal for tight living quarters, and the timeless design ensures it won’t date.

Cons
The curved back piece comes to a sharp point at the bottom edges; wild gesticulations may result in dented triceps. Despite the seat’s carved-out, anatomically correct imprint, those on either (rear) end of the spectrum may be bummed out.
